A little more update on the progress of my blue and white Patchwork Barn quilt.
I have posted the previous progress HERE> and HERE>
From the last post, I have made 12 more blocks and I am happy to say that I only have 9 more blocks to go to complete 72 blocks required for the quilt.

Blue and White Quilt Pattern: Patchwork Barn by Edyta Sitar
The pattern is Patchwork Barn by Edyta Sitar but I may change the layout since I am not really into the barn center of the original quilt design.
Here is how the final quilt will look like if I decide to follow through with the pattern.
Now that I am close to the end of making the blocks, I am thinking maybe the barn is fine, but I may opt out the applique around the barn. I don’t know, we’ll see.
The blocks are 6.5″ unfinished and there are 3 blocks for each block design. The pattern calls for the blocks to be in the same fabrics, but I decided to do each of the three blocks for each design from different fabric combo. Just adding to the scrappy look.
New Quilt Blocks added:
I can’t piece without this small cute rotating mat anymore. Definitely one tool that I must have when I am piecing.
Useful Sewing Notions
These notions have been helping me get more done without having to get up and away from my sewing machine:
- Wool Pressing Mat
- Portable Design Board
- Mini Steam Iron
- Mini Rotating Mat
- Small Squaring Up Ruler
- Small Rotary Cutter
- Clover stiletto
These portable design boards have been super useful letting me prep whenever I have time.
Let’s look at some of my favourite blocks out of these 18 blocks.
Pinwheel Quilt Blocks
The pinwheel blocks was surely fun to make. They just bring a happy vibe…
Basket Quilt Block
I enjoyed hand appliqueing the basket’s handles while making these blocks.
Due to the way the blocks were made, I decided to make the body from the same fabric.
As usual, there will always be time with the seam ripper. OOpsy.
And then there’s this fun suprise I found when piecing one of the log cabin variation block. The mushroom right in the centre! How fun is that.
Well, I have 9 more blocks to go and I am excited to piece them all together after that!
I will surely be updating again soon, hopefully you won’t get bored of this project just yet.
Thanks for stopping by! Have fun Quilting.

It’s going to be LOVELY!!
They are little for such a short time. Embrace it.
How fun. I have that pattern from The Quilt Show too. I have a bunch of orphan 6 1/2″ squares, so thought I would use them instead. I have a couple of cousins that live on a farm, so may make it for them with the barn middle. Fun to watch your progress.
I adore reading the latest on your adventure sweet mommy Amira.
I know these days. I know sewing is your “me time” but face it: you must sew.
Yesterday I had my daughter and three babies (8 mos, 2 and 3) over at my house.
I have a big house, lots of room to run. Daughter’s house was hot and getting a new A/C. So, I had the best time playing with my grand girls, we had such fun playing in the house (daughter forgot their shoes hahaha) we had toys everywhere.
But, I have my sewing room visibly open but cordoned off. It is the morning room, very large area. I kept glancing over, looking at my sewing projects. We love sewing.
The Patchwork Barn is beautiful, and a perfect project to work on in little times available.
Enjoy this time in your life. Every day is a treasure, and making a quilt while taking care of your little ones is always a good memory
This is so beautiful it makes me want to cry. I don’t know how I found you but I did. I have been so busy during the pandemic organizing my home. Next year my word will be quilt! This year was Organize.
I haven’t had the time to do the class work with you but I am saving your emails to do when I do get time. Appreciate you.
I enjoy your blog. I’ve taken your free motion boot camp course and now love free motion quilting. Love how you organize scraps and how you use them in other projects.
